'On joy and sorrow of life.' (Webby)

Notes

  • Epigraph: 'Horas non numero, nisi serenas.'
  • Here the writer suggests that when reflecting on life, rather than dwelling only on our sorrows, we should also remember our joys - hence the Latin epigraph, which in translation reads: 'I count only the bright hours'.
